Terry's mom: Walkout is 'a disgrace'

The mother of the U.S. Border Patrol agent whose death has been linked to the botched Fast and Furious operation called it “a disgrace” that Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill walked out of Thursday’s House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

“I was like, totally shocked, but you know what? I think it was a disgrace to them and not to my son,” Josephine Terry, mother of Brian Terry, said Thursday night on “The O’Reilly Factor.”

In the most dramatic showdown yet, the House voted to hold Holder in contempt of Congress Thursday over his refusal to turn over some documents in the ongoing probe of the failed gun-walking program. In a show of protest, dozens of Democrats walked off of the House floor during the vote. Brian Terry’s death has been connected to a gun that crossed the U.S.-Mexico border as a result of the Fast and Furious sting.

Josephine Terry was pleased by the House vote, telling Fox News, “I think what happened today was very good and I was happy about it. I think it’s a step forward to get justice for my son.”

Bob Heyer, Brian Terry’s cousin who chairs the Brian Terry Foundation, said his family is only interested in getting to the bottom of what happened in his cousin’s death.

“Our only desire … is to get answers. The truth and justice for Brian,” Heyer said. “But we’ve thought quite a bit, you know — is this just arrogance or is it incompetence? And sometimes I’m not sure what it is, but we are very disappointed that it’s been 18 months since Brian died and we still don’t have the answers.”

It is disgusting how the Republicans are using the Terry's for their cynical, political purposes and it is disgusting that the Terry's are on board with the Republican. It is they who cheapen their son's legacy to be involved with this disgraceful smear on Eric Holder. They should read the investigative report on all this in the latest Fortune and stop their pathetic crusade.

Disgusting!! It was all a planned and staged by the Democrats. They already had their podium set up outside.

While Nancy whines about Ted Kennedy helping with Obamacare, this horrible women and her cohorts in the House are busy dancing and spitting on the graves of all the people that have been killed by the weapons from Eric Holders botched F&F program.

It is disgusting how the Republicans are using the Terry's for their cynical, political purposes and it is disgusting that the Terry's are on board with the Republican. It is they who cheapen their son's legacy to be involved with this disgraceful smear on Eric Holder.

I will admit that attempting defend the indefensible is a big challenge.

The walkout by members of the cbc and those who support them is a prime example of the Obama administration's and the cbc's continued ideology of blatent racism,diviciveness, and hatred of everything conservative .Led by the likes of the criminal,Bobby Rush,and racists like Maxine Waters,Emmanuel Cleaver, andJohn Conyers,who have nothing but contempt for everything white,with the incoherent Nancy Pelosi in tow,this childish,schoolyard act of stupidity only underscores the urgent need to remove these decadent and depraved cancers on our congress from office. The cbc,itself should be outlawed as a hate group and racist organization,as should the Hispanic caucus because their main goal is nothing but racist agitation. If there were a "white caucus"the calls would surely be there to criminalize them.

No one has enabld the Mexican Drug Cartels more than the Republicans who are the big enablers of the NRA and refuse to allow any laws that might discourage the kind of reckless gun trafficking taking place in Arizona. All a Mexican Drug Lord has to do to to buy guns is go to Arizona and hire some kid to buy guns for them. That's all they have to do. Arizona is the gateway to GUNS FOR MEXICO and Republicans are the ones who allow that to happen.

Low-end estimates are that 2,000 guns cross the border monthly, most of them from Arizona.

That's a minimum of 24,000 firearms crossing the border each month, 24,000 firearms flowing through the loose network that supplies the drug cartels.

There are almost no investigations going on now. The flows should pick up. More people should die, but since no serial numbers get recorded, Terry's family can sleep safely knowing that nobody in Government even recorded a serial number or knows about it when those people die.
